Do you know Tuvalu? It is one of the smallest countries in the world. It is difficult to find fresh water(淡水) in the country, so people can't grow plants or vegetables there. They need to pay much money for fresh vegetables from other countries.
However, the sea around Tuvalu is cleaner than any other part of the world, because there are not any large factories(工厂) in the country. This beautiful country with clean sea makes lots of people from other countries travel there.
Tuvalu will face another problem, because the sea level(海平面) may soon become higher than the land of Tuvalu. If that happens, Tuvalu will show up only on old maps in the future. Most of the people in Tuvalu worry about this, but they can't do anything to stop this from happening, and many people are leaving Tuvalu for other countries.
What's more, there is only one senior high school in Tuvalu. It is truly difficult for students to learn useful things in the school. After people move away from Tuvalu, they can't find good jobs because they can only grow fruit, catch fish and clean houses. For people still living in Tuvalu, maybe they can look on the good side(往好的方面看) and try to do something to stop the sea level growing.

Do you like sports? If your answer is yes, sometimes you'll find it very difficult to have enough time to do it, even on weekends. However, you don't have to worry about it because of Sunshine Sports Program. It was launched (启动) by the Ministry of Education (教育部). It suggests that students around the country should have an hour of sports every day. Students will be able to do any sport they like. The program is to make students happy and keep them healthy. Han Jiawen, from Shanghai Yangsi Middle School, likes the idea. Han and her classmates skip ropes (跳绳) together. "We have a good time," Han said, "Playing is better than having classes." Wang Lichao welcomes the idea, too. "It's good to be able to breathe some fresh air instead of sitting in the classroom." But the 14-year-old student from Tianjin wonders whether there will be enough space for everyone. "With so many students outside," he said. "I'm afraid there won't be enough standing room on the playground." Wu Jiatong's school is in Liaoning. Her favorite sport is running. Wu and other students like running for 40 minutes every morning. "It's tiring," Wu said. "But we do feel healthier. We hope we can do what we want." What about your school? There must be more sports that interest you and your classmates. |
